Our Economy is about the economic world -- how economic decisions affect people, communities and countries, how events have causes and effects, how producers and consumers have rights and responsibilities, how groups such as governments make decisions that affect people and communities, how people's management of resources affects sustainability, how the ideas and actions of people in the past have had a significant effect on people's lives, and how people pursue economic growth through business, enterprise and innovation. The activities are skill-based. They are designed to be accessible to all ability groups and to encourage understanding of past, present and future economic issues. Our Economy focuses on essential learning about New Zealand society while encompassing a variety of settings, perspectives, processes and essential skills.
